1959 - Kenneth Lindsey was walking along a road near
Modesto, California at around 11:50 at night when he saw
a bright, orange bowl-shaped object descend to about 20 feet above the
road, extending across the entire roadway. "On it I could see shadows
which appeared to be moving, but I could not distinguish what they were."
After two minutes it rose again into the air. There were others in the
neighborhood who also saw the object. The object was described as being as
wide as the road. (Sources: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT:

1962 - At three a.m. a large fiery disc was observed on the
runway by two control tower operators and the flight crews of two aircraft
at Ezeiza Airport, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The UFO rose to 10
meters altitude, hovered a short while, then flew off toward the
northeast. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters,

1966 - At 12:45 a.m. EST a frosty white UFO with a central
bright spot, shaped like an ellipse and making a humming sound, swung in a
pendulum motion over Cuttingsville, Vermont. The street lights went
off and on three times during the sighting. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler,

1967 - Six teenagers observed a silver, saucer-shaped object
with a pointed top hovering over Holmes County, Ohio.
The UFO was about ten meters in diameter. A wave of heat was felt when
it passed overhead. The duration of the encounter was two minutes. On
the same evening a silvery disc with multicolored body lights around
its perimeter buzzed a car in Millersburg, Ohio. (Sources: (1) George

1971 - A married couple name Castillo had a bright light pace
their car in Osuna, Sevilla province, Spain. There was heavy radio
interference on the car radio, and their dog in the car became quite
excited. They then saw a strange object hovering by the side of road,
rocking back and forth and making a shrill whistling sound. (Sources: Mark
Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle Interference, p. 52;

1971 - While photographing their catch at the harbor of
Punta Norte, Chabut province, Argentina, on this afternoon some
seal hunters also captured photographs of a large circular craft with a
reddish glow as it emerged from the rolling sea. It flew directly toward
them, then curved away and flew out to sea. (Source: Wendelle C. Stevens,
Saga UFO Report, March 1977, p. 38).

1972 - Two men in a vehicle saw a tall thin, glowing figure
standing on the roadway as they drove around a curve in Kauhajoki,
Finland at two o'clock in the morning. The beam of the car
headlights appeared to curve upon striking the figure. It disappeared into
a field. (Source: APRO Bulletin, January-February 1973, p. 13).

1974 - In Fairfield, Ohio at 10:30 p.m., 82-year-old Mrs.
Pannersley noticed a light shining into her bedroom, and looked outside
and saw a "boat shaped" or oblong object hovering over a neighbor's house.
The UFO, 50-60 feet wide, had green and white lights around the base, was
oval shaped with a brightly lit dome on top, and seemed to be rotating. It
gently rose and fell above the neighbor's house for about 20 minutes, and
then moved to a new position above a nearby church. A white light shone
from 3 or 4 square windows around the upper portion. Inside the dome two
small dark, humanoid figures, described as "little people," could be seen
moving back and forth in "cramped positions," continually gesturing to
each other with their arms "like people who talk with their hands." The
beings ignored the witness, and were visible only from the waist up. The
object remained over the church nearly a half an hour, rising and falling
gently, and then it moved horizontally a short distance and shot upwards
at a high speed. (Sources: Leonard H. Stringfield, CUFOS files, letter

1977 - At 2:00 a.m. a huge metallic white disc, with red
blinking lights on the top and bottom, approached an Air Canada Boeing 747
airliner flying over the North Atlantic, then flew parallel to it
for 20 minutes. It emitted green "smoke" from its underside, then sped out
of sight. (Sources: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters,
p. 41, citing Jan Aldrich; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence,
Volume II: A Thirty-Year Report, pp. 22, 124).

1978 - At 12:15 a.m. a dark domed object first hovered
above some 10 KV power lines in Casalnuova near Naples, Italy, then
landed in a field. The object had an intense while light on the dome, two
green intermittent lights, and was estimated to be 30 meters in diameter
by the witnesses, Mr. & Mrs. Giuseppe Schettino. It made a rushing
sound. A triangular imprint pattern was found at the landing site. Soil
analysis revealed differences in the Carbon, Nitrogen, and pH levels in
volatile materials compared to a control sample. (Sources: U. Talarico,
UNICAT database, case # 456, citing Lumieres dans la Nuit,
July 1985, p. 26; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A
Thirty-Year Report, pp. 265, 352).

1978 - At 2:45 a.m. three dome shaped UFOs flew in
formation over several parts of the city of La Rioja, Argentina at
an estimated 1000 meters altitude. They lit up the sky like daylight, and
the formation was led by the biggest of the domed craft. They flew along
for 3-4 minutes, then shot up into the sky, leaving behind a blue trail.
At 3:00 a.m. an elongated UFO with red and blue flashing lights was also
seen near the international airport of Cordoba, Argentina. It made
no noise. The rear part of the craft had a green dome, and emitted an
intense luminosity. At 3:15 a.m. a disc-shaped object accompanied by two
smaller satellite objects was seen by two married couples on Highway 45 in
Malagueno, Argentina. The objects seen linked by a luminous white
trail. They moved very slowly and had multicolored lights. They flew into
a cluster of clouds that stayed illuminated for several more minutes.

1994 - At 9:00 p.m. a nine-foot-tall giant was seen
standing in front of a house in Yatzitz, Israel. It wore metallic
coveralls, and was surrounded by a glowing haze with blurred facial
features. The police were called, but by the time they had arrived the
giant had gone. However, giant footprint tracks were found in the area.
There were two male witnesses named Ezra and Casatini. (Source: Albert S.
Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1994, case # 2110, citing Barry
Chamish).

1998 - A witness in a convent in Rosheim, Bas-Rhine
department, France saw a serpent shape in the sky made up of red
and white discs. The luminous form moved quickly across the sky for about
a minute. It was big, about 10 meters in height by 2-3 meters in width. It
rose 15-20 meters in altitude, and passed within 100 feet. (Source: French
GEIPAN database, case # 303).
